Motor drive circuit
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A motor drive circuit comprising:
- two sets of relay circuits including power source circuit side relays and motor circuit side relays, the common contacts of said power source circuit side relays and side motor circuit side relays being connected, the positive side of a DC power source being connected to the normally open contacts of two power source circuit side relays, while the negative side of the DC power source being connected to the normally closed contact to said two power source circuit side relays;
a first motor connected between the normally closed contacts of two motor circuit side relays;
a second motor connected between the normally closed contact of one relay and the normally open contact of the other relay;
a third motor connected between the normally open contact of said one relay and the normally closed contact of said other relay; and
a fourth motor connected between the normally open contacts of said two motor circuit side relays.

Abstract
The common contact 5a of a power source circuit side relay 2a is connected to the common contact 15a of a motor circuit side relay 12a. The common contact 5b of a power source circuit side relay 2b is connected to the common contact 15b of a motor circuit side relay 12b. And, the switching contacts 6a and 6b, and 16a and 16b of the power source circuit sides relays 2a and 2b and the motor circuit side relays 12a and 12b are tripped in response to relay switching signals provided by an ECU. The power source circuit side relays 2a and 2b are selectively switched, so that the directions of flow of currents in the motor circuits 21 through 24 are changed.
